Hi guys/girls,
I seem to have a problem writing a 2.7 gig tar.gz
file data to a 4.7 gig DVD disk.
I'm using dvd+rw-tools-5.20.4.10.8.
The procedure I'm using is as
follows:
/usr/local/bin/dvd+rw-format -force
/dev/scd0 (appears to complete ok but doesn't seem to
get to 100%).
root@server:/tmp#
/usr/local/bin/dvd+rw-format -force /dev/scd0
* DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.10. * 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected. * formatting 99.2/ root@server:/usr/local/bin#
dvd+rw-mediainfo
/dev/scd0
